Smile at fear

Some days I can, most days I can't. But I am learning.

I'm riding that horse, which we all do (life) and I am not so stable in the saddle yet. Often, I get thrown right off and spend quite a bit of time wondering, lost, trying to find my way. Other times, the feeling of freedom is unbelievable, and everything is so simple, and I can ride anywhere.

I give thanks to teachers like Pema Chodron and her teacher, Chogyam Trungpa, whose book "Smile at fear" I am currently reading; I thank them for sharing with the rest of us what they have learned about staying in the saddle.

Peace
